Paul Kelly – The Beat Of The Heart lyrics

Paul Kelly (Mushroom Music)
Here it comes again, the burning in the blood
The pounding in my brain, the rising of the flood
Every night I pray, begging sleep to come
But it's so far away, way behind the drumbeat of your heart
I remember well a night of falling snow
Reading you a tale from Edgar Allen Poe
By the firelight, how your dark eyes shone
I had no idea it would be so strong
The beat of your heart
Your midnight cry, your morning song
Your salty tears, your honey tongue
Every night I pray, begging sleep to come
But it's so far away, way behind the drumbeat of your heart
